Geez, I remember that one too! We need a life!!
The practical Joke story in the May 1991 issue was this:
PROFESSOR SHATTERINI
Famous Astronomer missed Australia!
World famous Italian Astronomer, Professor His Eminence Dr. Nervo Shatterini, Director of the Dominum Nostrum Observatory near Angelicum in the Italian Alps offers his sincere apologies to his legion of Australian fans. "I was to visit Australia in April to carry out research on the Tinnus Fosterensis Australianis, which can only be seen from the Great Southern Continent. However, my travel agent got it all wrong, and I ended up in Austria!" said the great observer. "So I went skiing in the Alps, but a tree jumped in front of me and knocked me over. I am recovering from the two black eyes and the three broken ribs!" The famous Italian then announced that he would hold off his antipodean visit till April or May next year. We can hardly wait.
